As it so happens I just picked up some ribs the other night and plan on feasting this very evening. Here's my ten step process:
1- Soak the ribs overnight in a brine (salt & water) solution
2- Remove the skin membrane (that's what she said, ba da dum)
3- Boil the ribs but don't over do it- this makes the cooking process quicker and locks in the moisture.
4- Work in a dry rub (that's what he said) -including salt, pepper, brown sugar, white sugar, cayenne pepper, oregano and cumin or whatever flavours float your boat.
5- I have a Weber BBQ so I just plop it on there on tin foil and a grate for about an hour. If you have a decent BBQ you should be able to do the same thing but you shouldn't put the ribs directly on the grills and exposed to the flames until after #6. Of course, you can use an oven but I find it dries them out somewhat. Slow cooker works too but I think you lose a little flavour in the process.
6- I also like to put Cattle Boys BBQ sauce on at the end for an extra kick. Just cook for 2 minutes on each side with the BBQ sauce. Don't use crappy BBQ sauce.
7- Devour: eat greedy my friend.
8- Wash face, neck, hands, hair, forehead to remove all traces of feast. If you're like me you'll also need a change of clothing. This may mean removing your "eating pants", which is unfortunate, but hey, you don't want to look like a slob!
9- Have a beer for recovery (in addition to the beer you had while eating)
10- Bow-chicka-bow-wow
Good luck!
